NORWALK — A 20-year-old city man is expected to survive after suffering a gunshot wound to the head early Wednesday morning, police said.

The victim suffered an “inter-cranial intrusion into the skull” and was dropped off at Norwalk Hospital by a friend at approximately 2 a.m., according to police.

Investigators are still trying to determine exactly where the incident occurred, and detectives were able to conduct limited interviews with the victim after he underwent successful surgery to have the bullet removed from his skull, according to Lt. Thomas Mattera, commander of the detective bureau.

“It’s still very fresh, and we’re trying to bring all the pieces together,” he said.
